How to select songs using the search bar in iTunes for Windows 8.1
Just today (8th May, 14) I couldn't select songs when using the search bar in the top right hand side of iTunes. I patched it but it didn't solve the problem, however once I ran as administrator it did fix the problem. Is there a way to not have to run as administrator every time I want to open iTunes and/or is there a way to fix this problem? I have iTunes pinned on my taskbar so by default it does not open iTues as administrator. Thanks
Hi,
This should be compatible issue.
Please try to install the driver in Windows 8.1 compatible mode:
Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-windows
If you still find unknown device in your Device manager, right click to update the driver to see what's going on.
For further troubleshooting, please post back the C:\WINDOWS\INF\setupapi.dev.log
here for our research.
You can update it onto OneDrive or the similar network device and share the link here.

When I type any website like wikipidia or linkedIn that has initial page named as Home, I am going to some unknown website. It is happening for many other websites like yahoo, timesofindia, etc. Please help me, because I am unable to find root cause.
Apple does not give away its products.
Unless you are the 1,000th person to show up at a new Store and Tim Cook is there and his assistant is filming you to be posted on their Home Page.

Whenever I am using Firefox mobile - either regular, beta or aurora and go to search for something like through the Google search page and attempt to search for something the search bar does nothing and hitting the enter button instead doesn't do anything either. Is there a way to keep this from happening?
Hi and thanks to not leaving the firefox user alone.
Cor-el your answer is right as the madperson is and I already knew all these
answer and I said that before I don’t use any antivirus and I always turn off my firewall from the moment I installed my Windows.
I even turn off any automatic update for any of my software and I never let any unknown plugins or any thing like that be install without informing me. And if you know some things like Offline Storage and cookies must be to much more than usual and you have to clear them and delete them and I know so much more
And if you want to know it fixed now. But I don’t know how?
For understanding my problem read and research about Ixplorer.exe virus it is the same problem about the speed but the different is it doesn’t show any process in task manager like Ixplorer.exe virus
Bt I have done some things but still I don’t know that’s why it is fixed or not
First: I searched my system and removed any files have been crated on my system from two days ago since the problem happened.
And then I used to go about the article in this page and did like this:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080910101846AAazxN5
but still I don’t know any thing about the problem.
I can do so many things to fix but I am just curios if that is a virus why it just cut the speed when I am using the browser.
Please if any one found the reason send me your information I like to know it will improve my knowledge however my problem is solved fro now. -
When using the search bar, is it possible to get the search results in a new tab?
In the old Google toolbar, it was possible to view the search results in a new tab. Google toolbar is compatible with Firefox 7, so I have to use the Firefox Search Bar. However, it always gets the search results in the current tab. Can this be modified?
Yes. Open a new tab and type or paste ''about:config'' into the location bar, hit enter, and hit enter again to get past the warning. Then paste ''browser.search.openintab'' into the filter box that shows, then double-click on the ''browser.search.openintab'' line to toggle it (it will switch to bold).
If you'd rather an addon just do the above for you and add a menu option for it, try this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchontab/
Alternatively, you can type a search into the search bar and press ''alt+enter'' instead of just enter to open your search in a new tab. -
The connection has timed out
The server at uk.search.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond.
Firstly I have had to changed my home page because google will not load. Then I can get access into yahoo itself, mail etc but cannot get any of the search engines to function. All other websites ok apart from when trying to do searches!
The yahoo search shows the following message or it indicates that the connection has broken. Tested internet connection and all ok!
Any advice appreciated.

Basically,
You guys just don't want the job. This is the third time your firefox 4 installer crashed my system.
I'm sure that you've heard all this before, yet you do nothing about it but nag me to upgrade.
Hate to join "the dark side" but your lack of performance forces me into it.
From now on, I'm using Microsoft Internet explorer.
BTW: I was quite happy with 3. whatever.

After a system restore, my search bar can't be used
My computer had a system restore after a storm shut my computer off after being frozen. No other issues are going on other than when I try to use the search bar, nothing happens. If I use the drop down box in the search bar, the only options I get are Add "Firefox Help", and Manage search engines. If I click on manage search engines, usually I get a list of options, google, yahoo, etc, but it is completely empty and restore defaults is grayed out.
Per other suggestions on this forum, I have upgraded to the latest firefox version, I have also downloaded the serachreset addon which didn't help. Also, there was another post on deleting the formhistory.sqlite file under my profiles, however, when I went to try this, there was no such file for me. (from this website's instructions http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_search_or_add_new_engines)
Please help as I don't want to have to delete the entire program just to find that upon reinstall, I don't have a fix.You are sure that they are in browser\searchplugins and not in \searchplugins in the Firefox program folder?
There has been a change and in current Firefox versions some files and folders have been moved to the browser folder and searchplugins is one of them.

Using search bar in itunes when not connected to internet causes problem
I just upgraded to the newest version of itunes and I haven't had this problem before, but when I use the search bar in itunes to find something in the library (when I'm off line)I get an error report to send. Does the new itunes require being online even to look up something in the library or a playlist?
I'm getting a similar problem, not the exact error message, but one telling me I need to connect to the internet to buy itunes, when I am connected, so I'll be interested in the answer to your question too

As the title says, I run Firefox Beta 6 and just reinstalled Windows 7 Professional on my system due to seriously messed up Windows update, and when I downloaded and installed Firefox, I noticed every time I searched using the Google search next to the URL bar, FF would freeze for about 30 seconds to a minute, with nothing running in the background and no other programs running. I also disabled all Add-Ons and it still continues to act up, so that leads me to believe it's a FF issue, but even on every other website when using the search bar as soon as I hit enter, it locks up and stops responding then goes back to normal about 30 secs later, or if I sign into Facebook it does the same, and even when I had the FF 5 Beta before I had to reinstall I never had a problem.
I managed to solve this problem as my computer has been giving me problems lately and completely froze on me the other day thanks to Game Booster Beta 3 and completely screwed with Windows 7 to the point I almost had to reinstall again, but I managed to fix all my problems and if you would just follow my link here over to my post on Seven Forums then it would be easier then explaining it again.
http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/180714-windows-7-professional-64-bit-logs-but-almost-frozen-3.html#post1550277 The reason for this is if you shut down your computer while running Firefox, it's possible you corrupted your User Profile for FF and if you follow my instructions you can repair it instead of making a new, so just follow the link, read my post and if you have anymore problems just message me on Seven Forums. Have a nice day and hopefully you get it all fixed. :b
